Features:

holds 7 one-quart jars. 12" in diameter;

fits most canners.

Made of galvanized steel.

canners.

Blake's rating: Standard replacement rack, like the one that came
with the canner

Canning Rack 2 - stainless steel; great for small and odd-sized jars

Features:

Stainless steel, this rack won't rust

time

Small jelly jars won't fall through

12-1/4 in diameter and 3-3/4 deep (not including handles). Made in
USA.

Blake's rating: Excellent replacement rack (sooner or later your
rack will fall apart from the boiling water (and no, this one is not made of
silicone...) Note: for very small jars, I put empty jars in around the full
jars to keep them from tipping over. Tipping over is very common with
all racks.

Canning Rack System

This multi-use canning rack system turns any pot into a canning pot and
facilitates many culinary tasks like blanching and sterilizing. Used with a
large saucepan or stock pot, the racks lift and hold mason jars for easy
insertion and removal of jars. The racks elevate the jars off the bottom of
pot to prevent glass breakage. These racks have multiple wires to hold all
jar sizes, including small jars which won't tip and fall through the rack
when lifted. Also great for blanching, steaming, or boiling corn or lobster.
Includes two stainless steel racks (a small one for 9½ - 10½" diameter pots
and a large one for 11 - 12" diameter pots), a set of adjustable stainless
steel lifters, instructions and tips.

Corn Cutters / Corn Strippers

Corn cutters - Simple and inexpensive devices to help you remove corn
kernels from the cob. Much faster and safer than using a knife, you can
make niblets or creamed corn with these. I'd never be able to freeze 500
ears worth of corn per year without these - Blake

Comments from a visitor on July 03, 2012: "I love your website! I
have referenced it numerous occasions! I would like to tell you about a
really neat tool I found for canning. It's put out by Ball and it's
called 'Sure Tight Band Tool'. I've had problems with carpal tunnel, and
this is a life saver on the wrists! Thank you for all you share! I make
home made jams, pickles, relishes, salsa, apple sauce & apple butter - I
started out making for my church, but found that friends and family also
wanted to buy them! have a great day! "

Food Preparation Equipment

It
is tiring and laborious to prepare green beans for canning; there are so
many of them and you do them all by hand. But wait there's a new
device that makes it easy. Hmmm, actually, these devices have been
around since our great-grandfather's day! Here are several different
types and makes, some hand fed, some cranked: choose the one that meets your
need and budget!

Pectin, Pickle Mixes and Sauce/Salsa Mixes

Making Jam? Need Pectin, but the local store is out?

Is your jam too runny? Pectin enables you to turn out
perfectly set jam every time. Made from natural apples, there are also
low-sugar pectins that allow you to reduce the sugar you add by almost
half!

This is the same type of standard canner that my grandmother used to make everything from applesauce to jams and jellies to tomato and spaghetti sauce. This complete kit includes everything you need and lasts for years: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs, lid lifting wand, a plastic funnel, labels, bubble freer. It's much cheaper than buying the items separately. You'll never need anything else except jars & lids (and the jars are reusable)! There is also a simple kit with just the canner and rack, and a pressure canner, if you want to do vegetables (other than tomatoes). To see
more canners, of different styles, makes and prices, click here!
Don't forget the Ball Blue Book!

Lids, Rings, Jars, mixes, pectin, etc.

Need lids, rings and replacement jars? Or pectin to make jam,
spaghetti sauce or salsa mix or pickle mixes? Get them all here, and
usually at lower prices than your local store!
